These are the ten I painted in the series. Thoughts or favorites? The two cottonwoods in the center and the autumn ash on the bottom left are mine.

I learned a ton doing this and had a lot of fun along the way. Who knew trees were so varied and intricate? Before this I didn't think I ever really noticed.

I think the color choices in the redwood painting are the best of this set and I love the dappled light on the bark, which makes it my favorite by small margin. However my favorite one composition-wise is the center most painting.

    How do you keep your paper from curling? Mine always curls when I try watercolor

    By not using paper at all. These are all digital. I'll add digital to the title going forward.

    When we go open air painting the folks I paint with either use a much thicker pair for watercolor or they have a painting device that pins the paper down until it's dry. A pleine aire painting kit.

    So awesome to see you continuously expanding your artistic horizon! My favourite is the redwood (?) in the bottom center.
